Cash value of a policy is the value or worth of the policy in the local currency, if surrendered immediately.
Can I get the answer on line, or do i HAVE to call in? Where can i GET the cash value for my policy?
If your policy has a cash value associated with it you can get money for surrendering the policy. Term Life has no cash value, but a whole life or universal life policy may have a cash value in it. That depends on what type of policy it is, how long it has been in force, and assuming the payments have been made.
Typically it is called "Net Cash Surrender Value". This is the amount of cash value in the policy accumulation account minus any outstanding loans etc. But it is typically referred to as "Net surrender Value" or "Net Cash Surrender Value". Get a good agent and he can explain.
It means you want to cancel the policy. If there is cash value in the policy, surrender charges will be deducted from the cash value and you will get the remaining balance.

Cash value is a savings element of whole life insurance. It is independent of the benefit amount and its growth is based on how much you have paid into the policy. You can access this money in the form of a loan while still keeping the policy, or if you were to cancel the policy you would receive a check for the cash value. If you would like to know how much cash value is in your policy you can call your ins. company or check the "schedule page" of your policy where there is usually a breakdown of how cash value will accumulate over time (depending on the type of policy). It usually takes several years for cash value to begin accumulating on an average adult policy.
A life insurance policy may have cash value if it is a "whole life insurance policy". This is a kind of life insurance, distinguished from "term" life insurance, that accumulates cash value for the period that it is in force and premiums are paid. Each premium paid goes to pay the cost of "indemnity" (the death benefit), the administrative costs incurred by the insurer, with all or a portion of the remainder going into the cash value. The cash value element of the policy is SOMEWHAT like a savings account within the policy. It grows slowly at first but faster as the policy matures. When a sufficient amount of cash value has accumulated, policy loans from the cash value are usually allowed per the terms of the policy. The loans bear interest at a rate provided for by the policy. Term life insurance does not accumulate cash value.
The cash value of something is the value before taxes. Net or Netto cash value is after taxes.
This answer depends upon the schedule of cash value in the policy itself. Suggest you locate the policy, read it and then talk to the company. At this point, it's even possible that the cash value equals the policy's death benefit. In other words, the cash value could be significant.
